You want a timeless song, I wanna change the game
Like modern architecture, John Lautner coming your way
I know you like this beat 'cause Jeff been doing the damn thing
You wanna turn it up loud, future nostalgia is the name
(Future nostalgia)
I know you're dying trying to figure me out
My name's on the tip of your tongue, keep running your mouth
You want the recipe but can't handle my sound
My sound, my sound (future)
(Future nostalgia)
No matter what you do, I'm gonna get it without ya (hey, hey)
I know you ain't used to a female alpha (no way, no way)

Can't be a Rolling Stone if you live in a glass house
You keep on talking that talk, one day you're gonna blast out
You can't be bitter if I'm out here showing my face
You want what now looks like, let me give you a taste
In the song Future Nostalgia, Dua Lipa sings about her determination to succeed and be an alpha female in the music industry, despite people doubting or underestimating her. She claims that "no matter what you do, I'm gonna get it without ya" and that she is "used to a female alpha." The chorus repeats the phrase "future nostalgia," which can be interpreted as a reflection on the nostalgic sound of the past with a modern, futuristic twist, which is the overall vibe of the album.
The second verse of the song sees Dua Lipa comparing her sound to modern architecture, specifically citing architect John Lautner as an influence. She assures her listeners that "you like this beat 'cause Jeff been doing the damn thing" and proudly declares that "future nostalgia is the name." In the bridge section, she address those who try to discredit or criticize her by stating "can't be a Rolling Stone if you live in a glass house" and warning that "one day you're gonna blast out" if you continue to talk negatively about others. She ends the song by inviting those curious about her approach to music to "let me give you a taste" of what modern pop can be like.

nah, FN is a masterpiece by itself it just so happened that it came in a very corona time. Club FN is just the result of a lack of regular promo time, which is a very welcome bonus.
